Day Care Policy
-Deposits and Payments
Monthly payments and deposits are due in advance. A deposit is your commitment for the reservation of your spot here in my care and must be for the first full month. I also ask you to please give me at least a month’s notice when your baby is ready to leave my care. If you decide to stay with me, a prompt deposit for the first month is important because I can be fair to other parents by being quick in giving information to them about availability. Please note that deposits of monthly payments are non refundable. If you do not come and get care for your baby and use your deposit at the agreed start date that you have decided upon you will have up to 60 days to come and use your credit, after that your deposit will be lost.
-Attendance
The payment remains the same:
If you are on vacation, if your baby stays at home for some reason, or holidays.
-When your baby is sick
Please note that when your baby is sick he/she will need a note from the doctor explaining that they are no longer contagious after staying home until they are better. Your child may return to my care following illness, after having a temperature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit without medication for a period of twenty-four hours. I prefer that you pick your baby up if his/her temperature is higher than normal (98.6) as that right there is a sign that something is wrong. If I find out that your baby has a temperature higher than normal I will notify you immediately. This also applies to a case of diarrhea or vomiting. A doctor’s statement is required if a child has been out ill for 3 or more consecutive days, has a contagious disease, or has a suspected contagious condition such as ringworm, strep, conjunctivitis (pink eye), lice and/or impetigo and fungul infections. I cannot take sick babies especially babies with a fever as it is a risk of infection for me and every other baby here. Please be considerate to others when your baby is sick and running a fever and please do not bring him/her by like this. If you bring your baby by the morning after a fever while they are still running a fever or a period of 24 hours of a fever free condition has not yet passed you will be turned away.
When children are ill, they need your special attention and your tender loving care. Illness is a time children and parents reach out for each other.
Thank you kindly,
